Companies and countries are upgrading or building semiconductor manufacturing to cater to ever-increasing demand. However, simply increasing the semiconductor capacity is not the answer and often comes with several techniques to business challenges. The technical challenge involves deciding on the technology-node and package technology to focus on, which is not an easy decision and requires an end-to-end view of how the market will evolve and which technology will be crucial. Yield and throughput also play a role. On top of all this, the technology (lithography as an example) equipment required should work as expected. More so when the new capacity focuses on advanced semiconductor solutions. Capacity: Building new semiconductor manufacturing capacity is not always […]
